They're criminals

Winfield — I am appalled by your recent series "Tossed out of America." These people being "tossed out" are criminals, pure and simple. They are here illegally.

This is an item glossed over in your articles, but it is something with which you should have started each of your paragraphs.

It is about time that the government is doing what it should have been doing for decades--keeping America's borders secure.

Every person here illegally is taking an immigration visa away from someone who is following the rules and waiting legally to immigrate to the United States. It doesn't matter if the illegal person is from Pakistan, Mexico or Germany, he or she is a criminal.

My hope is that it doesn't stop with the Middle Eastern countries but will continue until all illegal immigrants are identified and returned to their countries of origin.
